The day after Lu Zhen returned to Beicheng, Lu Jian's running around finally came to fruition. The hospital agreed to allow family members and patients to meet.

However, the hospital also made a request: only the elder brother was allowed to put on isolation clothes to meet Lu Yan. Lu Jian and Meng Zhining were a little older and had reduced resistance, so they were not suitable for going to the isolation building.

On the morning of departure, Lu Zhen sent a text message to Shen Kuo: "I'll go over first. The location is in the isolation area of ​​the fourth building of the People's Hospital."

Shen Kuo: "It's already here."

Lu Zhen got in the car and saw this text message from Shen Kuo, and thought to herself that you are quite active. If I didn't send you the message, then you were not blind in vain!

Lu Zhen got into Meng Zhining's car. Along the way, Meng Zhining kept talking, telling Lu Zhen that when he saw his sister, he should not cry and cry as if he was about to leave, and increase his sister's nervousness. He should encourage her, you know?

Lu Zhen looked out the window worriedly, unable to listen to Meng Zhining's words at all.

Now the streets and alleys of Beicheng are being disinfected with sprinklers, and free isatis water tanks are placed in front of pharmacies. Everyone on the street is wearing a mask and looking at other people around him defensively, making the atmosphere tense.

.

News of patient deaths were reported on TV every day. Lu Zhen's heart was racing and he was extremely nervous.

After arriving at the People's Hospital, Lu Zhen called Shen Kuo and asked, "Where are you?"

"Look back."

Lu Zhen turned around and saw a young man standing on the flower bed in the garden of the building opposite, looking at him expressionlessly.

He was wearing a gray down jacket with the zipper open and a thin cashmere sweater underneath.

The slender neck has distinct veins, and the skin becomes increasingly pale in the cold winter wind.

There are very few people who can look so handsome even in bulky down jackets. Sometimes, Lu Zhen has to admit that Shen Kuo is quite handsome, just a little bit more handsome than him.

"when did you come?"

Shen Kuo raised his head and looked at the isolation building directly in front of him, his eyes dark——

"last night."

"I'll go! Could it be that you came over just after you got off the plane last night and stayed here all night..."

Shen Kuo did not answer, but still stared at the building directly in front of him: "Which floor is she on?"

"The doctor said it seems to be on the seventh floor, but what you can't see is that the isolation room has no windows."

Shen Kuo knew he couldn't see it, but he came over as soon as he got off the plane last night.

Even if he can't see her, he can always feel a little more at peace if he can be closer to her.

"Tell her after you get in..."

"I won't convey anything to you."

Lu Zhen flatly rejected Shen Kuo: "It was your decision to separate. My girl has been sad for a long time. Now she has finally come out and is living a good and happy life. I will not let you disturb her anymore."

Shen Kuo's Adam's apple rolled up and down. Finally, he said: "Tell her not to be afraid. There were many stars in the sky last night..."

There are many stars, and I am here to accompany you.

Lu Zhen hung up the phone before he finished speaking, looked at him angrily, and gave him the middle finger.

Damn, he's so good at flirting, no wonder his daughter is still obsessed with her and can't forget her after such a long time.

What a disaster.

Lu Zhen followed the doctors and nurses to the disinfection room in the isolation area, put on protective clothing that was tightly wrapped like in a biochemical movie, and then entered the layer-by-layer isolation patient room.

Outside the ward, Lu Zhen finally saw Lu Yan.

Lu Yan was wearing a large horizontal striped patient sweater and sat pitifully on the hospital bed hugging her knees.

Her nose was red and her eyes were wet. She looked like she had just cried, like a frightened little animal.

Lu Zhen's internal organs were all twisted together. He shouted excitedly to the doctors around him: "Aren't you sick? Why are you wearing so little! How can you wear so little!"

The doctor explained: "There is heating, so it won't be cold."

Lu Zhen excitedly patted the glass isolation window and shouted to Lu Yan: "Baby, daddy is here! Don't be afraid!"

When Lu Yan saw Lu Zhen, her eyes gleamed, she jumped out of bed, ran to the window, touched the glass layer with her hand, and shouted: "Are you crazy! Why are you here in a place like this!"

"I'm here to see you! Don't be afraid. The doctor said there are still a few more tests, and you can leave if there are no problems after they are done! Don't be afraid, it'll be fine."

"Is everything okay at home?"

"My parents are fine. I'm just worried about you. My mother hasn't even been to the company these days."

"I heard that several cases have been discovered in Nancheng."

"Yes, we have all closed schools."

Lu Yan hesitated for a few seconds and finally asked: "Then...is he okay? Is he not sick? Is he coughing or anything?"

"Who?"

Lu Yan hesitated, stirring the corners of his clothes with her hands, and finally whispered his name: "Shen Kuo."

"Ask him what he does."

"Just...just ask."

Shen Kuo curled his lips and said angrily: "Don't worry about him. Even if the end of the world comes, that guy will definitely be the last one to die. He's so smart."

Lu Yan knew that Shen Kuo should be fine, so she slowly breathed a sigh of relief, then seemed to remember something and said quickly: "Don't let him know about my hospitalization."

"Why?"

"No reason."

Lu Yan sat on the cold bench, holding her thin arms, her mood seemed a little low: "Don't let him know."

Lu Zhen swallowed, resisting the urge to tell her that the guy was downstairs, and said, "Maybe they don't want to know at all."

Lu Yan looked even more disappointed, rubbed her eyes, and her eyes turned red.

"Hey, you...I just said casually, why are you crying?"

"Didn't cry."

Lu Yan stubbornly turned her back and took a breath: "Who is crying? I won't cry. You are right. People may not want to know at all, but what if, what if my test results come out?

, you...you help me tell Shen Kuo, you tell him..."

"I won't tell him anything for you." Lu Zhen decisively refused again, not forgetting to curse: "Idiot."

Lu Yan finally cried out: "Tell him for me..."

She sobbed intermittently, and the more she felt, the more tears she shed, and the front of her breast became wet.

"Lu Yan is not afraid of death. She is just afraid that she will never meet anyone like him again in this life. She is just afraid that she will never have a chance... to see him for the last time. She will never have a chance to tell him. She still cannot forget her.

..”

The girl was already crying.

"I won't tell you this for you, you have to say it yourself."

Lu Zhen put the phone next to the intercom on the glass window: "The call has been connected. You can tell him yourself."

Lu Yan suddenly raised her head and rushed over to block the round hole of the intercom: "No! I won't talk to him, hang up now! Ah! Hang up, hang up!"

Lu Zhen shrugged: "It's too late."

The phone call has already been answered.

"Lu Yan."

On the phone, the slightly hoarse voice of the young man came, and with the sound of electricity, it seemed to become deeper and deeper.

Lu Yan covered her mouth and stayed there stupidly.

The two of them had not spoken for almost half a year. Lu Yan was a little overwhelmed when she heard his voice.

His voice had changed a little, and it had become... a little unlike him, not like the clear young man before.

"Lu Yan, I'm here."

His breathing was heavy, and he seemed to be speaking with great effort: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Lu Yan's hand touched the transparent window and stroked the mobile phone on the other side of the glass.

"You...where are you?"

"downstairs."

He said: "It's a bare little garden. All the branches and leaves in the garden have fallen off."

Lu Yan wiped away the tears rolling down her eyes with her sleeves and asked him: "In the south...are the leaves in the south very lush?"

"Yes, in the winter in the south, the leaves are evergreen. Do you want to see it?"

"Can I see it?"

"When you get better, I'll take you to see you."

"If I don't get better, if..."
